Here is my combination 2 channel/HT system. It is set up with more emphasis on 2 channel because I listen to music about 80% of the time. I like tubes for my music listening, amp, preamp, dac, and phono pre. The H/T is solid state with the exception of the front speakers they keep the tube amplification with the 2 channel preamp H/T bypass enabled. As you can see the turn table, sub amps, and power centers are in the room behind the system, kind of a pain in the butt for playing vinyl but it's good exercise!, and this way the fan noise from the amps does not come into play in the listening room. All of my subwoofers were built by me they are powered by the Behringer amps and crossover is the Behringer. Here is the equipment list.
